Canon announcement - Monday

[Overread20]

To be honest aside from video in the 550D the upgrades at the rebel level are never that impressive. The only impressive one was from 300D to 350D and only then because they hobbled the 300D like crazy

Otherwise you have to go at least one if not two generations above with rebels to really warrant upgrading

I cross everything I can possibly cross in my body and pray that they announce some bodies in NAB (April).

Here's something I found: http://www.reelseo.com/canon-5d-mark-iii/

Canon always releases much higher than the item settles to in the market - why is debatable but they always do. Also they are re-releasing their entire EFS line - updating it here and there - adding new lenses and also marking up their prices from their old ones (to reflect the weak $ and £ and the stronger Yen)

Weak dollar my ass. $10K is still $10K is anyone's book. I have to issues as long as it is on par with what's in the market. I got two prices for the new EF 400 f/2.8L IS II. Initially it was $8300 USD from my local shop; about $600 more than the current lens. No problems there, I figure you're paying for the hybrid IS and titanium shell. I checked with Adorama a while back and it is pre-ordered at over $10K. Hopefully, it will "settle" as you pointed out. I will forego the 400 f/2.8 anyway and look into the 200-400 f/4. That is the lens I have been waiting on since Nikon released theirs at about $6700 USD.
